I actually have an original copy of this poster in my print archives! 
When I was putting this image together, I wasn't intending to do a variation of the classic ACS poster in the sense of personifying the cigarette. (Although it would certainly seem that my subconscious memory of this campaign influenced my typological choice!) Rather, I was referring to the model, and playing once again with the idea of appearances and expectations and juxtapositions on the heels of last week's image, and Sphay's very interesting candid submission in the subsequent discussion thread.
Here we have daisies and sunlight and youthful vitality...as well as the presence of something much, much Darker in their midst. It's there in her eyes, and in her actions, and how they affect her, and how they affect those around her...
